Amir Temur Mausoleum, Samarkand, Uzbekistan -4693

Amir Temur (aka Tamerlane) built this gold-encrusted maosoleum for himself but he died unexpectedly while traveling and his body never made it to the golden tomb. Samarkand was his home and because of that this city has the most elaborate, jawdroppingly gorgeous historic buildings.
